The HMMWV in reality.

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), informally known as the Humvee or Hummer, is a military 4WD motor vehicle created by AM General. Primarily used by the United States military, it is also used by a number of other countries and organizations and in civilian adaptations.

The HMMWV is used by US Army soldiers in multiple levels. There are many that are idle where the player must travel a long distance, free to be used by the player. It is an easy and fast option to get through the large level, though it can easily be destroyed, so finding an IFV or Main Battle Tank would be recommended.

It has room for 4 players: 1 driver, 1 gunner, 1 player in the back and 1 passenger. The HMMWV's MG has a very limited turning speed, so it can be easily flanked if used as a stationary weapon, but the turret is also very accurate, powerful and completely void of recoil, making it suitable for medium distances.

The passenger in the back has their infantry weapons to their disposal, so they can help in shooting targets, although this help is limited, and, if they're using a Support kit, they can also constantly repair the HMMWV if it's damaged.

"High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle with 4WD capability it is used as a personnel and light transport truck by all branches of the U.S. Military. It seats 4 and is armed with a .50 caliber Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) in a 360 degree weapons ring mount."

The HMMWV was first seen in a few gameplay trailers. In the Fault Line Trailer, M1114 HMMWVs can be seen as idle scenery, while in the mission, Operation Guillotine, the Marine unit Haymaker, along with the player rides in a M1114 HMMWV with a CROWS (Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station) for a brief moment.

The HMMWV appears in the missions Operation Exodus and Exfiltration. In the former, Snake 6-6 have to defend a group of HMMWVs from PLR infantry as they try to assault the USMC defensive line. In the latter, the duo use the .50 cal Browning M2 on the HMMWVs as they extract Hamid Al-Zakir.

The HMMWV is lightly armored, but is susceptible to any form of explosion. The gunner's machine gun deals a maximum of 20 damage trailing down to a minimum of 15.6 damage; this means that it will always require between 5 to 7 shots to drop an enemy. It has a very low tolerance for damage, being disabled at 77% health. Grenades can blow doors open, or even kill occupants from beneath. Explosive ammunition can inflict damage if shot through the windows. However, the windows are completely resistant to small arms fire.

A heavily modified version, called the Phoenix, appears in Battlefield 3: Aftermath. The Phoenix acts as a light transport with an attached grenade launcher that has been fitted at the back in conjunction with the existing machine gun on top that will carry troops.

An anti-air version, called the HMMWV ASRAD, appears in Battlefield 3: End Game. The HMMWV ASRAD has an anti-air missile launcher that can fire missiles that lock-on to air vehicles, or are dumb-fired while not on a lock-on.

In Battlefield: Bad Company's single player, if players get into the HMMWV one of their squad mates gets in the 3rd seat in the back. In multiplayer however, players cannot get into that seat and are instead put on the back.

In Battlefield Bad Company and Battlefield: Bad Company 2, every part of the HMMWV is destructible except the tires and the machine gun's shielding.

In Battlefield 2, the HMMWV has four seats inside, but only one is used. The other three passengers use the machine gun or sit in the back.

It is useful to note that an enemy will only die if the driver's side of the vehicle passes through them when attempting road kills. If any other part makes contact the enemy will simply pass through unharmed and usually ready to shoot the player(s) in the unprotected rear.

In a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 speed test, the HMMWV was actually faster than the Quad Bike.

Deviating from previous battlefield games, the HMMWV in Battlefield 3 has its rear hatch (boot) closed as part of its default model. The rear hatch can not be opened by teammates, only by damage.

In Battlefield 3, if sitting in any of the seats (except the gunner's seat) and looking at the rear hatch of the HMMWV, the player can see that a lower part of it is not textured and transparent, making it possible to look outside the vehicle.
